The can’t miss mountain destination. Unless you leave, that is.

Asheville & the Foothills

Travel down the Blue Ridge Parkway and you’ll discover the quirky charm of an area filled with art galleries, craft breweries, up-and-coming bands and natural attractions. Nestled in the mountains, Asheville is where you’ll find Biltmore, America’s largest home and the nation’s most visited winery. Hendersonville hosts the North Carolina Apple Festival, Black Mountain has camping, and Hot Springs boasts natural mineral pools. In the foothills, visit historic Morganton, see for 75 miles atop Chimney Rock, or enjoy boating at Lake Lure.
